my latest tutorial video has landed over a 1000 hits on my site over the last couple days!
Wow.
I hope the forum memebers here will feel free to ask for videos or offer suggestions for future videos.
Creative criticisms welcome as well.
I hope to build on this project all year long!

what settings are you using?
Here is what I know for sure (that can give results you described):
if your flash unit is set to trailing curtian sync, you get 1/90 sec shutter.
IF you have your power switch on your flash set to wireless position, it switches to p-ttl regardless of any inputs you use on camera or flash...
If you do both (above) you get the behaviour you described.
other than that .... diry/wet contacts on the flash or body????

unless you got access to a mac... in which case you'd wanna try iMovie's trailer feature....
or even Aperture if you got it can lay out a slideshow using stills and movies off your d-slr and export it as a movie....

Elinchrom does sell kits with softboxes and stands....
BTW I "overclocked" my modelling lamps (the units I have are able to handle 300 watts, but without fans, I wouldn't try that high) from the standard 50 watt i believe have been swapped out for halogen bulbs, so I can use them with video... your umbrellas should be fine, but I'd turn the modelling lamps down if I were using them as a beauty dish like I described earlier...

oh, and one more way to save a little cash with elinchrom?
the way elinchrom mounts thier umbrellas on axis with the flash tube means if you take a silver or white umbrella and "Choke" it far enough on the light unit, with no reflector, the umbrella can then be used as a beauty dish.... one less thing to buy unless you're anal enough to get freaked out by octa vs round shaped catchlights...

The kr is an incredible upgrade... all across the board... except viewfinder, the all glass prism in the ds2 is a little brighter....easier to read.
